Multiple statuses on a page?

Question

I currently have a block of code that looks like

And the problem I'm trying to resolve is that I have a section on a different page using all of these statuses in their own divs to create a sort of Editor's Choice area. shown here:

THE FEATURED STATUS
{exp:channel:entries channel="news|blog|misc" limit="1" dynamic="no" status="Featured"}
  <div class="featured img">
    an image
  </div>
  <div class="featured text">
    text that links to article view template
      <div><a class="color-red lg featured read-more" href="{site_url}{channel_short_name}/view/{url_title}">Full Article&hellip;</a>
      </div>
  </div>
{/exp:channel:entries}  

EDCHOICE STATUS
{exp:channel:entries channel="news|blog|misc" limit="1" dynamic="no" status="EdChoice"}
  <div class="EdChoice1 img">
    an image
  </div>
  <div class="EdChoice1 text">
    text that links to article view template
      <div><a class="color-red lg featured read-more" href="{site_url}{channel_short_name}/view/{url_title}">Full Article&hellip;</a>
      </div>
  </div>
{/exp:channel:entries} 

EDCHOICE STATUS
{exp:channel:entries channel="news|blog|misc" limit="1" dynamic="no" status="EdChoice"}
  <div class="EdChoice2 img">
    an image
  </div>
  <div class="EdChoice2 text">
    text that links to article view template
      <div><a class="color-red lg featured read-more" href="{site_url}{channel_short_name}/view/{url_title}">Full Article&hellip;</a>
      </div>
  </div>
{/exp:channel:entries}  

And those populate perfectly fine. And the articles pulled with EdChoice status work when clicked on basically pulling up their respective channels view template and displaying the article. HOWEVER, anything with the status of Featured shows and goes to the correct url, but does not display and obviously redirects to my 404 page. Here is a block of what's in my view template, of which all the articles (EdChoice, Featured, Open, or otherwise) are pulling:

 {exp:channel:entries site="{site_short_name}" channel="news|blog|misc" url_title="{segment_3}" limit="1" dynamic="no" status="Open|Featured|EdChoice" require_entry="yes"}
    {if no_results}{redirect="404"}{/if} 
    <h1><span itemprop="name">{title}</span></h1>
            etc etc 
 {/exp:channel:entries} 

And when I changed THE FEATURED STATUS block status to status="EdChoice" the view page works fine. I'm not sure what's going on here. Has anyone encountered this before? Or know what I'm doing wrong as I am new to using multiple statuses

Answer 1

Remove everything from your template and just add this:

 {exp:channel:entries channel="news|blog|misc" status="not closed"}
    {title} 
 {/exp:channel:entries} 

If this works, start adding code back in piece by piece until things break.

Answer 2

The exp:channel:entries tag by default only looks for status="open" entries.

Might be best to use status="not closed" in your setup. This will show all entries except those using the "closed" status.

Answer 3

Because you are setting url_title="{segment_3}" and dynamic="no" try removing the require_entry="yes" parameter from your exp:channel:entries tag.

OR

Remove url_title="{segment_3}" and dynamic="no", and leave the require_entry="yes" parameter.

Answer 4

Remove site="{site_short_name}" from your tag. This parameter isn't present on your working code.
